What is a Sweeten?

Sweetens (a portmanteau of "sweet", "kitten", and "sweeten") are what cats evolved to be in an alternative dimension--and they evolved to have wings on their backs and feet! This allows them to glide, but only for a few minutes at a time.
Sweetens can be found living primarily in hollow trees (though caves and even burrows are not unheard of), where they construct their dens from soft material such as moss and feathers they found on the ground. They also take a liking to decorating their nests with shiny things they find from the humans--so hang on tightly to your gold bracelets and pearl necklaces!
Notably, Sweetens like to bounce when they are happy--unlike the cats from our world, they also seem to enjoy music and can be heard humming tunes in the form of trills and chirps.
Will a Sweeten manage to capture your heart?
FAQ wrote:Q: Are Sweetens free?
A: Yes! All Sweetens, with the exception of customs/breedings, are
obtainable by free means!
Q: How do I adopt a Sweeten?
A: At random times, litters will be posted on the adoption zone post! Fill out
the form and it will be yours! Also, at some time in the future, events may
be implemented involving playing games to earn special, event-themed
Sweetens.
Q: Can I make my own Sweeten/make litters?
A: Sorry, but no. While I cannot and will not claim to own the idea of cats with
wings and of course have no issue with people making a character or species
with those traits, you cannot use the lineart or claim it to be an official
sweeten unless you're an artist. You can, however, purchase a custom
(See below for more info)
Q: Can I make my Sweeten my fursona/OC?
A: Of course you can (with the exception of any fandom-inspired designs)!
Keep in mind, if you take these offsite, you have to credit this thread for
the lines as well as the designer of the Sweeten!
Q: Can I put my Sweeten in my signature?
A: Absolutely! Just make sure to link back to this thread.
Q: Can I be on the staff team?
A: Currently, I'm not accepting applications for staff yet but will later on!
Do note that you would have to fill out a form though, forms would
not be FCFS, and you'd also need to meet certain requirements.
Q: Who's that Sweeten up there?
A: That's Sophie, our mascot and my custom! She's based on my IRL cat. :)
Q: Why did you create Sweetens?
A: Way back when, I was a fanatic for early Chicken Smoothie user-made
adoptables like Cloudy Leopards and Thimble Kitties, and in 2015 I was an
artist for the latter as well as Mini Kits/Fuzzy Felines. It was always my
dream to open my own user-made adoptables thread, but I lacked the
skills to make an appealing lineart back then, so any attempts I had flopped.
But now I'm a seasoned artist, and want to achieve my childhood dream.
